A friend of ours ,,, Mac

[Tagger]

Incase anyone missed it Mac is recovering from a really bad fall from some staging . He was instantly knocked unconscious and suffered a depressed skull fracture from wich he bled profusely. The ambulance didn't like what they saw at all and called in Med Fight . The ambulance took him to a local ballfield where a helicopter took him for 2 nights at MGH. Amazingly Mac did very well from a severe head injury . Unfortunately a swollen knee kept getting bigger and required some attention . Further examination showed a detached quad .. The top of his leg has to cut open from below the knee up and over to the quad muscle. He's going in to get cut soon (forgot date )then its 3 months of nothing . Absolutely no work . If he is going to have a good chance of recovery he has to do what the Doc says . Then its rehab . If anyone wishes to help Mac They can send a check payable to
Mary MacLeod
44 Eastfield Drive
Brockton ,Mass 02302

Thats my address I will not open the mail . I'll simply relay it to Mac's wife Mary ..
If its more convenient to paypal funds you can send them via paypal to.. Tagger0325@aol.com Paypal will skim 2-3% I'm told ... again I'll relay to Mac .. You'll have to trust me on that one ..
Thank you John .. I am also hitting up builders (plugs) for an SOL auction .. thank you everyone for all the "What can I do "calls and pm's ..

Will send out a check tomorrow. Thanks for doing this.

[nightfighter]

Done. In mail tomorrow. Thanks for getting the ball rolling Ed.

Boys and girls, this is a good man in a tough spot. As much as he would rather not ask for the help, I know he and his wife appreciate it and thank you from the bottom of their hearts. I believe in the pay it forward credo, will be good karma as the season opens.

Nice idea Ed. I'm in.

Somehow I missed this.

Eddie, I don't have much $ to spare right now, but I'll gladly donate some plugs for an auction or something. Anything from my stash, you've got it.

I hope Dave is gonna be ok.

Hey All , you don't know me yet, am new here. Feel for Mac, that really sucks, but you all sound like a great group of people to help him out like that.
I'm outta work myself-but may have some antique reels in my stash, can someone get in touch with me and let me know what is worth donating etc? If its not too late? Thanks....
